ENED 1120 – Spring 2024 HW 3.1: Statistics 2 I NDIVIDUAL A SSIGNMENT : See the course syllabus for a definition of what constitutes an individual assignment. Task 1 (of 4) You are asked to determine if it is financially advisable to close a home sales office on Mondays during the month of January. It is assumed that if the sales office is not open on Mondays, customers will not come back and buy a house on another day. You gather data from the past 4 years for January and calculate the following probability of making home sales on a Monday. Sales (n umber of homes) 0 1 2 3 4 5 P(x=S) .80 .10 0.05 0.02 0.02 0.01 a) Determine the following probabilities: Solution Selling any number of houses Selling at least two houses Selling between and including 2 to 4 houses b) What is the expected average number of houses sold on Mondays in January? c) Employees are paid 100% commission which means they have no base salary and only get paid if they sell a house. The commission for each house sold is $10,000. Employees can make $3,000 / day guaranteed if they work at their second job. If the employees are only worried about money, do you predict that employees will want to work in the sales office for the four Mondays in January? Justify your answer?

Task 2 (of 4) Complete the diagram and solution parts of the problem presentation mehod for the problems below. Please note in this assignment the axis has been designated for you. In the futrue you might need to designate the axis. Z or x on the axis is very different. Z designates the standard normal curve with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. Therefore 0 is always at the center of the curve and z is the number of standard deviations away from the mean. X is the value of your data. When x is on the axis the mean of x is at the center of the curve. For the first problem (P(z ≥ 2.0)), the figure has been completed to guide you on the expectations for the other problems. Try to make your diagram as accurate as possible. If easier for you, draw the curve on a separate piece of paper with the included area shaded and replace the image in Column 2 with your own image. Find Diagram Solution and how you solved it a) P(z ≥ 2) b) P(-0.4  z  0.8) ENED 1120 – HW 3.1 – Spring 2024 Page 2 of 4 Z Z

c) At what value of z is 0.05 to the right Task 3 (of 4) The amount of soil picked up and moved by each scoop of an excavator is normally distributed, averages 1 cubic yard and has a standard deviation of .07 cubic yards. Find Diagram Solution and how solved a) What is the probability that the excavator picks up between 1.1 and .9 cubic yards the next scoop? b) What is the scoop size that is exceeded 95% of the time? (hint: find z value that corresponds to a probability, of > .95 and work backwards) ENED 1120 – HW 3.1 – Spring 2024 Page 3 of 4 Z X X

c) How could you use this information if you were managing a construction site? Tasks 4 (of 4) File HW3p1Data contains two data sets. The first data set is the length measurements (in cm) of randomly drawn pieces of cut wood from supplier A (lot A). The second data set contains the lengths of cut wood randomly drawn from supplier B (lot B). Determine if the data in each set is close to normally distributed, give reasoning and include any graphs made to support conclusions. Lot A Lot B Based on these results do you think the two suppliers have the same type of process? Why? ENED 1120 – HW 3.1 – Spring 2024 Page 4 of 4
